How's it Sound? Drop a LIKE if you Enjoyed!

I'm not so much a Ford guy, since I'm really working on a supercharged 1970 Charger on my channel... but I will admit, your Ford motors sound absolutely INSANE. In my opinion, anyone who disagrees is someone who just can't appreciate the work you put into these (Minus a slight wheel issue... LMAO)

I will NOT lie. That full gas pass under the bridge gave me full body chills

HOLY S****!!!! As an owner of a restored 67 Fastback ,70 351w 4 speed, This thing is a Nasty Beast compared to mine!! The right look with the ball's to back it all up!! This thing is insane!!!!! Thanks for sharing guy's👍😎

This is what we need more of, bring back the simple tried and proven builds. so much better than the next LS swapped crapwagon.

I built a 12;1 390 at .030 over ( 396ci) way back in 1976 in a 67 Mustang fastback with a similar 3 inch exhaust just straight out in front of the wheels and a big solid cam that sounded like a Super Stock and it was really sweet at 7200, 4 speed and it was crazy. Nothing is like a high compression, high revving open exhaust that exited at at the rear wheels. That little 289 brought back so much, the crispy snarl of my 396 FE would make people flinch. And I never got caught by any cop car, ever and I took a lot of lunch money with a MR 2x4 intake, no hood and a pair of 427 carbs. I got married and my wife only rode in it once, it could hit 7500, but 7200 was where I shifted it. 2 disc clutch, scattershield. It sounded like a small block but oh man I wish I still had it. It was so spooky! You guys have done FEs, this way an adolescent 427, lol. Great 289! And the 302 in the Effie is bad ass too. We are all Ford guys and the recipe is the secret. ARP hardware.

It does not get much better than the way that looks and obviously the way that sounds. Trust me I'm over 60 years old I've heard a couple of these things and that things sounds perfect!

You've built that car the way I aspire to build everything, and I always get flak for it. Mechanical everything, everywhere, always. The mechanical fuel pump, carburetor, 4-speed, TrueTrac, it's all just so beautiful. I don't use this word lightly, it's perfect. This car is perfect.

Im really loving the coverage of simple builds that work really well. Seems like everything these days is so over the top billet this billet that with more hp than a cruise ship and costs more than one too. Its refreshing to see the average man build a car.

Sounds awesome Craig thanks for the support

I have a 67 fastback with a 351 Cleveland 4v and T5 in it. Nothing is better than bang shifting these old muscle cars.

Craig we need a compilation of all you and your friends exhaust sounds from over the years

The 289 sounds insane and goes like a bat out of hell, perfect build and drivable

love that the youth understands the past .. and does it properly with new tech don't be fooled this is a proper hot rod not just thrown together that you can get away with on the West Coast with good weather

Hard to beat a well-built little ol'289.

when my uncle passed from cancer he left my dad a 65 coupe that needs a lot of work. I've got it running and driving (still stalling while driving sometimes, the auto trans shifts really badly too) and stopping, was feeling burnt out on it but this gives me some motivation

That Stang and its owner are living their best lives! Young kid knows his stuff. Hot rods should be built and driven like this! 👍🏻🇺🇸.

As a old school die hard ford fan I gotta give you guys thumbs up she sounds sweet and good job on the engine she's a screamer!

Im a mopar guy but that little 289 sounds crisp 🔥. I had a 70 Mach 1 that had a 351 Windsor and it was so damn fun to drive.

God damn gotta give er to Ethan! He absolutely rips on the car!! Sounds and looks just 👌👌👌

“It’s a million degrees, because I left it in the sun like an IDIOT”. Ahhhhh, that made my day. Thank you😂

Sounds great. That Mustang is the real deal. Thanks for sharing the Ride! Have a good evening. 👍

You may hear the exhaust pipes hitting the floor when you hit a bump. At least that is what it looks like in the video. Very cool 67!

autopiala has to collab with this guy omg that thing rips

Loved seeing the Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins clip mixed in!

Alright you’ve convinced me. I’m doing this exact setup on my 68 coupe, it sounds insane

Never underestimate a little engine! You'll be humbled in a hurry. Sounds great!!

That fastback sounds absolutely badass! Man, I'm so glad he wasn't balls to the wall when that axle gave way, that would have sucked. Watching the video passes at the end reminded me of the old 60's and 70's car chase movies..... Fastbacks will never not be cool, period.

Being a coyote guy, I have to put aside pride and just acknowledge the beauty of the small block.

Ethan is going to have a lot of fun with that set up.

I’m 53. My father was a mechanic (I didn’t pay attention like I should have. I am not a mechanic ) but I always loved how no matter what happened my dad was never phased. “Nothin’ that can’t be fixed” was his answer to everything. Never worried about if the car was gonna make it on a trip or anything. Cause he could always fix it. That’s what I love about ALL YOU guys! I’m a successful (very) guy. But I will always be impressed by the guy that can fix it 👍🏼 y’all rock!

Ethan’s builds are so PROPER

Crazy, you can hear the intake pulses just as loud as the exhaust note, what an interesting tone! Almost like an old vtech with ITB's

That thing sounds MEAN! Sounds really really good! On the whole engineer, welder thing, I grew up in the oil field and was always told that welders are the guys who make the stuff the engineers design actually work. :)

Ethan needs a youtube channel..I like his style..(f250 highboy,68 mustang)

Wow that car is bada$$! I don't think he was giving her everything either. It looked like he could have pulled the fronts at a roll. What an awesome ride and great video. Thanks Craig!

Good to see young guys working on a real old school cars👍🏻

It’s great to see you younger guys keeping the old school stuff going!!

Not a ford guy, but man I sure do love a good ford build. Clean unit. How it should be.

Gentlemen thank you for the fantastic video. I've always been a little on the poor side of life but had pretty cool toys and your 67 is pretty damn close to my highschool car. I had a 68 GT fastback. It was powered by a thirty over 302 top loader 4spd to a 9inch Detroit locker and 471 gears. In back also we're a pair of Lakewood slapper bars. The exhaust was a pair of Hooker headers with a pair of thrush collector mufflers The body was a little rough and I painted it with Rust-Oleum gloss black rattle cans and my good friend Ed Kowalski helped me paint a flame job on the nose also with rattle cans. It rolled on cragar SS wheels and Roger Ward l 60x 15s and 14x 7 on the front with a pair of Gabriel highjackers air shocks to keep the tires from rubbing. I fiberglassed an l 88 Vette scoop on it and bolted on Shelby upper and lower side scoops and called the car the Black beast. She was the most fun I've ever had in a car even though I've been in much faster cars. It was loud a noxious and I got in more than my fair share of trouble with it I only made it to the track at Connecticut dragway once but the best run of the day was a 12. 5 at 115. With the stout gears I could pull the front end all the way through 3rd gear and the sound inside with the sound deadening material out of it was off the hook. If you travel at all for cars and parts I'm in naugatuck Connecticut and my name is Craig. I have to sell everything I have and get out of here soon. Reach out to me at 203 360 5407. I love the video

Everything about this car is perfect! So dope!

Sounds good! If you have the time build another similar system using an H Pipe to show the difference in sound. Personally I like the old school H pipe sound and in most cases a X pipe makes the same or less power. X pipe placement is critical to see power gains. I say pick your sound and run with it. Oh you could use larger outlet piping on the straight through system for a deeper sound. Just crush the pipe to make some clearance.

Well this is just all kinds of awesome. 👍👍 So glad to see there's still some youngbloods building some solid, old-school combos and out there tearin' it up!

Not a Ford guy, but damn that fastback is sweet! Sounds so good! You build cars like they should be, keeping within the era!! Really made me miss my youth!!

I really enjoy that content creators are putting the clip of the exhaust in the very beginning of the (exhaust clip video) As opposed to talking for 20 minutes.

We had an 86 fox t bird our local dirt track with a very built 351 W . Had a local shop make custom long tube 13/4 " headers to a 3" out system with an X pipe and shorty 3" mufflers. Turned the engine up 7600 , our chevy guys thought we at 9000 thanks to X pipe. Your guys bring back good memories .

I think this is the best video I’ve seen in my entire life…. Thank you

9” w/ c-clips??🤔🤫someone didn’t check the housing end bolts.That mustang sick tho!👍

21:06 That wheel came off like a HotWheel 😂

67 fastback is my dream car, I'm loving this video

I've been following this dude on instagram for a while now. It's rad to see him on this channel!

Almost lost a front wheel before when i was in high-school. Had a 87 325is and got some wheels for it. Ended up needing spacers and extended wheel bolts. Well teenage me didn't know what "hub centric" was. Felt a bad wobble, jacked up the car and only one wheel bolt was barely holding it on. The other 3 had broken. I was doing 75+ 3 minutes before i stopped. Could of been bad.

You guys did a kick ass job. So sweet. I'm so proud of Ethan. Definitely got a gift. Craig, looks so slick.

That car would look awesome with a set of chrome Patriot Exhaust megaphones coming out of each side. They change the sound a little as well.

Sick! The Coors coil is rad. 909ftw

building a 351w for my truck right now and I cant wait, its has a lunati bootlegger and D00E's, with x pipe and long tubes, cant wait to be a small block killer

DAMN!! Goosebumps head to toe from a video. Can only dream what sitting in that beast would be like.

You had me at NASCAR

What is Ethan’s YT page name? This is one of my most favorite vid’s as I had a ‘67 fastback GTA back in the 70’s! (The Achilles-heel of 67’s is the shock towers need an aftermarket reinforcement kit welded in ‘inside-&-out’ or fractures will emanate outward from the upper a-arm mounts!) The removable under engine ‘cradle-tube’ also needs ‘trans-am/boss’ spec reinforcement plates/tabs welded on also. The Shelby export brace was a proper beginning! Can I adopt Ethan? He’s doing it right!

Dude!!, Them straight pipes are sick!!!

SBF have always been badass, that car sounds awesome. your buddy is right though, it looks better without the flaming fender. with the mufflers on it sounds like the Bullitt Mustang in the movie

Great car Ethan. Happy to see JBA is going to be in good hands when John decides to retire someday.

That's how I want my '79 F-150 to drive!

Great car . Sounds awesome ! Thanks for sharing

Although they won’t admit it, PMO at Miramar loved the sound coming from that thing during filming!

Man that is too good! What a perfect build, nicely done Ethan and Craig 👌🏼 Goosebumps for days

Saw the body twist before the tire came around into view and my thought was: "damn that thing has a lot of torq- oh shit!"

Old skool! Love the pony sounds sick, I love how you still have a NA 289, it's just like what u see at the local gas station back in the day. In a cool town that is... When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s a guy had an exact replica of the General Lee, being a little kid and seeing that woah the coolest I stared at it out my grandmother's LTD. Also When I was a kid a guys wife had a 76 nova SS all the old school treatments lumpy cam bigs n littles custom SS stripes side exit exhaust sounded tough I would watch it rumble by and think mannn so cool, so I'm like 24 I went to trade my mint 85 Z28 for money and a nova, I pull in and said hey is that big eds wife's nova? Yup! Well safe to say I bought it and it was one of the funnest cars I've owned. As an adult I prefer 68-74 novas but as a kid the 75-79s were the one. The 76 SS is a sweet ride tho.

I been waiting for this video since I seen the post with the car on the Instagram! I enjoyed it, well done!

Don't get me wrong I love my overhead cam motors but nothing will beat a pushrod v8 screaming above 7500...

Glad to see you're driving the wheels off of it like it was meant for.

Love his old school style. I have had several '68 GT's and a '70. Also, several Maverick/Comets. Currently (since 1994) a 1970 Maverick with a Blurprint 347 Roller/Stroker, ATI StreetFighter C-4 transmission and 8" with a 300 Yukon spool, 28 spline, big block drum brakes and a pair of those old school slapper bars you alluded to. Willwood disc's. in the front and I did yield to an HEI just to eliminate half the wiring under the hood. Went 750 spread bore carburetor for now. Rest of the car looks like it could have rolled of the showroom (except the functional Boss 302 hood scoop and chin spoiler. Mine is just in Rustoleum semi-gloss black for now. Got all the stuff to repaint it, but all I really want to do is drive it! No AC, no fuel injection, no heater or wipers. Just an onery old hot rod. I LOVE your approach the way you are executing this build. Great series.

Love that car.. i miss my 68 cougar w/302 😮.. keep em coming!

the car sounds amazing, great stuff thanks

Pretty Sure my Dad Sonny & my Uncle Lyndon have thumbs 👍 👍 up and Smileing from ear to ear and I know they heard it !!! Totally AWESOME

Left my comment before the axel problem. I too have a QP axel and housing, love their product. Good luck there was no injury, except to pride.

I have always been a huge big block guy, big block anything (460 454 are my favs tho) but high rpm small blacks will always have a special place in my garage man that sound is do unique, and you managed to get it exactly. well done Craig 🙏

Awesome build l think the 67 and 68 are the best looking cars ever built Ford power forever baby a real Chevy and dodge killer l love it keep on bringing it great job fellas

Great video. I can’t believe that’s a 289 sounding like that, plus the axle drama makes for a fantastic episode.

that guy needs to make a channel he's so funny

Love black windows, had a neighbor hater on my old jeep and sounded awesome, great video man

I love this Mustang. And I love Mopars.

67 ford mustang will always be my favorite car

A small block screaming at high rpm sounds so awesome!

I dunno man, it was really saying something with those flames, like "I've been places...seen some stuff!" Maybe sand the red oxide back just a little bit to reveal the flames...just a little bit 👌

You're smart for not running points on this build. Thats one peice of technology that needs to be left in the 60's forever.

OMG guys you are making me melt. love this.

Good lord that sounds good - team small block V8 💪🏼💪🏼

Man it sounds like you’re ready to take it on Van Nuys Boulevard to bobs big boy
